Weaponry
Besides having a large variety of weapons for when a student reaches a higher level of training, Hinansho begins basic weaponry from the very beginning of a student's martial arts training. Of course, nothing metal is offered in this beginning period due to the level of training needed to train with these weapons safely, but basic stick-work in a safe and monitored environment has a number of benefits. Learning to train with a basic stick provides the student with:
- Strengthening of wrists and forearms.
- Improved hand eye coordination.
- Improved self confidence.
- A greater understanding of the responsibilities that the use of weaponry requires.
- A basic level of training that can be added to as the student progresses in training, rather than begin weaponry at black belt, as is the case with most martial arts.
- The fun of trying something different.
